I suggest that you learn how to search for what you are looking for. There are lots of threads regarding f2l and you have a whole world of information outside PCA. YouTube, google and what not. If there's a will there's a way. Kung gusto, may paraan. Anyway, Welcome to PCA I guess. Read and understand the rules and regulations. Cheers.

man you sound like he's done a grave mishap..talk about getting bossy....anyways, rook5 try to do f2l with less facings..that's how JB and other fast speedcubers do it here in Cebu..And do try to solve f2l's on any side and any case...then try doing slow solves but consistent turns...they said it does help a lot

Okay lang gumamit ng "Y" rotations sa f2l ayon sa mga pro. Actually, inevitable siya. While building your f2l, many suggest that you make as little "Y" rotations as possible. Rotations according to some are very costly and time consuming. Especially x's and z's. (pero di naman yun ginagamit sa f2l) Dito pumapasok ang prediction at mirrors. If you watch videos by pros such as Yu Nakajima, Harris Chan and etc, you'll notice that they barely make any cube rotations. It's as if they magically insert rear f2l pairs. I dunno how they do it, I am still yet to learn those "tricks".

i agree w papplazy..btw..harris chan is the master of f2l..LOL..so do try to search his videos..actually..he is the master of the fridrich method..he averages like less than 2 seconds per pll..simply amazing..try to search his pll time attack vid on youtube.. well..medyo off topic na sa f2l pero makaka2long talaga ang pagobserve sa videos ng mga pros..

Tomasz Zolnowski builds his cross on the left side, but I'm not quite sure if he builds his f2l sideways din. If you watch his video, you'll see that he has lotsa X rotations. Super dami kung titignan...Para niyang iniikot ikot yung cube tas biglang nabubuo nalang bigla. Rotations are inevitable but they should be minimized. Too much can cost you alot of time lalo na yung mga awkward na cube rotation.
